Server Description
The Hypixel Network is one of the most popular and largest servers in the Minecraft universe. Founded on April 13, 2013, by Simon Collins-Laflamme and Philippe Touchette, it originally started as a YouTube channel creating Minecraft adventure maps but evolved into an expansive network of mini-games over time. Currently operated by Hypixel Inc., the server supports only Minecraft Java Edition and has welcomed over 20 million unique players.
Hypixel is renowned for popular game modes such as BedWars, SkyWars, and SkyBlock, offering players a rich experience with regularly updated content. The server also stands out for its community-focused approach, featuring cosmetics, a leveling system, and friend lists to enhance player interaction. Based in Toronto, Canada, Hypixel has at times hosted over 200,000 concurrent players, earning accolades like a Guinness World Record.
Hypixel Studios is also developing Hytale, an independent game that carries forward the server’s creative legacy. Players can join this unique world for free using the address “mc.hypixel.net,” though optional paid perks are available. With its innovative approach and vast player base, Hypixel remains an indispensable part of the Minecraft community.
